Rubia promotes women’s empowerment through education and income generation from the sale of heritage handwork. We work with women in Afghanistan, Mali, and Manchester, New Hampshire who are rebuilding their lives after prolonged conflict and displacement.

Artists belonging to the Tanti Bogolan Women’s Association in Djenne hand-dyed this textile in August for Rubia’s Lexington exhibit.

Rubia is more than handwork production. It is a community building, education and empowerment vehicle for women and their families.
